Music-Maze

Music generator through implicit cooperative agents

The project

Music can be considered (in according to [1]) nothing more than "organized sounds", where repetition has an important role in order to create a structure or a recognizable pattern. In this script I tried to replicate the results shown in paper [1]. Furthermore I added an automatism for generating the music without the direct cooperation of a human. The human is replaced by an automatic agent that chooses notes while solving a maze. In this way, for the way the maze is built, the properties presented in the paper should be respected

Dependencies

Example

It is possible to listen to an example of "music" generated by the algorithm here
